Technip wins diesel hydrotreater project in Riyadh
Posted: 5 September 2003
Technip has been awarded, by Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco),
a lumpsum turnkey contract for the addition of Diesel Hydrotreating
Facilities at their Riyadh Refinery.
As part of the project, Technip will provide a diesel hydrotreater,
an amine regeneration unit, a new sulphur recovery unit, a hydrogen
plant and will revamp existing facilities. The plant will be able
to produce 45,000 BPSD of low sulphur diesel and have the flexibility
to produce extra low sulphur diesel through the installation of
additional equipment.
Technip’s contract covers the following services: project
management, detail engineering, procurement of equipment and materials,
construction management, construction, precommissioning and assistance
to commissioning.
The overall project will be carried out by Technip’s engineering
center in Rome, with the construction being handled by the Group’s
local affiliate, Technip Saudi Arabia.
The project began in early August 2003 and completion is slated
for January 2006.
This contract falls within the framework of Saudi Arabia’s
intention to improve the Kingdom ambient air quality by supplying
low sulphur diesel to the domestic market. For Technip, this new
success adds to the remarkable list of its references in Saudi Arabia,
including several other large major gas and oil development projects
for Saudi Aramco, such as: Hawiyah, Haradh and Qatif.
With a workforce of about 19,000 persons, Technip ranks among the
top five corporations in the field of oil, gas and petrochemical
engineering, construction and services. Headquartered in Paris,
the Group is listed in New York and Paris. The Group’s main
engineering and business centers are located in France, Italy, Germany,
the UK, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, the United States, Brazil,
Abu-Dhabi, China, India, Malaysia and Australia. The Group has high-quality
industrial and construction facilities in France, Brazil, the UK,
the USA, and Finland as well as a world-class fleet of offshore
